DUDE... YOU'VE GOT UA-cam...LOOK UP RECIPES FOR THINGS YOU LIKE AND MAKE THEM LIKE PANCAKES, BISCUITS AND COUNTRY SAUSAGE GRAVY
A SAMPLER IS USUALLY SERVED ON A PLATTER WHICH IS THAN A DINNER PLATE
IT WILL HAVE ALL OF MEMORY ITEMS ON IT SO YOU CAN TRY A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS INSTEAD OF ORDERING A REGULAR SIZED PLATE OF EACH ITEM WHICH WOULD COST MORE AND PROBABLY BE TOO MUCH TO EAT. THIS WAY...IF YOU GO BACK TO THAT PLACE AGAIN, YOU WILL KNOW WHAT YOU LIKED AND DIDN'T LIKE THE TIME AND ORDER ACCORDINGLY. THE SAMPLER IS SOMETHING A GROUP OF PEOPLE SHARE TO SEE WHAT THEY LIKE OR... YOU CAN JUST ORDER IT AS YOUR MEAL
Grits are another way we grind corn, it is coarsely ground, I make mine cheesy with gravy, and put a sunny side up egg on top. (Edit: It is similar to polenta)

Check out people trying Louisiana soul food for the first time. There are dishes you won't even recognize the name, 'cause they're french, from back when Louisiana reached all the way up into Canada during its original purchase. Not only will you not recognize the name, you won't even have something you can accurately compare it to in American cuisine, much less the rest of the world. Don't look up what boudin casing is though...
Jelly: Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly.
Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit.
Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. Some fruits such as blackberries or raspberries will not stay whole during the processing so there may not be much difference between raspberry jam and raspberry preserve.
Fruit spreads (only fruit): These are 100% fruit with no sugar added. If needed, a sweet fruit juice such as white grape juice or apple juice may be added.
Butters: Butters are made from pureed fruit. They are not as sweet as preserves, jams, or jellies but offer a full fruit flavor. Butters tend to be dark because of the exposure to air during the cooking.
Jelly in Britain is gelatin ( Jello).
@@user-fc6nr1zd6f just bear in mind that if you come here to the USA and ask for jelly, it won't be Jell-O, it will be what mborque said. 🙂 (you should definitely try both jelly and jam to see which you like better 🙂)
@mbourque Amazing description!!! I've never seen somebody include the explanation about the fruit spreads and the butters!
👏😊 👏😊 👏😊
I even took a screenshot of your description to share with my family and others. Thank you. That will make explaining to people so much easier.
A sampler is not free...it just means a bunch of different things.
OMG ! Does someone believe that ?
Or "Sampler" is the name of that specific breakfast which is a plate with samples of several different things.on.the menu
@@user-fc6nr1zd6f well on depends on the context tbh
As a southern 68 year old. Southern breakfast is eggs, grits, hashbrowns in some form, sausage bacon and biscuits
Proper grits are fantastic.
This is essentially the classic midwestern breakfast… just sans grits and maybe add sausage gravy on the side.
My dad always said grits were the reason the South lost the war, and he might as well have been talking to a brick wall - my mom & us kids LOVE grits! 😂🤣😂
Amen to that! I have never met grits I didn’t like. 😂 Happy 4th, y’all. 🇺🇸
Biscuits and gravy
Me (an American):
Cheese in coffee???
……..I’m going to have to ask you to calm down sir.
its actually really good
Another American here, I was looking for this very comment lol First butter in coffee, then olive oil, now cheese?! Ya'll need to quit it 🤣
@@peanutmwo6001Ok, I need to know what kind of cheese you're using 🤔 lol
@@OhSleeper0287 specifically sharp white cheddar, but other cheeses work well too
I have NEVER heard of this. I’ve heard of butter in coffee…🤷🏻♀️
My father's mother was from Texas, and my mother's family was from Virginia. My father's mother always made fresh biscuits in the morning for breakfast. The cook at my mother's parents' home also always made either fresh biscuits or fresh corn muffins for breakfast. Although many other things were served, I really didn't need anything else.
Did she use lard? YUM!
@@suefantastic4584 It wasn't worth making biscuits without lard.
Fresh biscuits hot from the oven are almost as good as sex.
When I was a young adult in the PNW,, I worked a very physically demanding job. I burned a lot of calories so I ate a huge breakfast even when it wasn't breakfast time. I never gained weight. It was any combination of the following;
Meat: Bacon (6), sausage links (6), country ham (giant slab), country fried steak (with gravy), or steak (8 oz).
Eggs: 2-4, Over medium, scrambled or poached.
Potatoes: Hash browns or home fries with sausage gravy.
Bread: Biscuits (2 with gravy), sourdough toast (rarely).
Years later, after I was injured and was confined to a sit-down job, that type of breakfast or meal became a once a month thing. Now that I'm old and only eat one meal a day, I might make that twice a year but I savor every bite!!
mimosas are common for 'brunch' when you (more commonly women) meet friends out around 10:30-11:00, usually on a weekend day (commonly Saturday). it's some kind of juice (usually orange juice) mixed 1:1 with sparkling wine of some kind (usually champagne). you CAN get drunk on them if you have too many, but if it's just 1, then you'll be fine.
scrambled eggs, ham, potato bits, orange juice, biscuits w/gravy... they have harmonicas at Cracker Barrel
Home fries aren't just regular fries with a different cut. Home fries are often pan-fried instead of cooked in a deep fryer, and instead of the basic fryer oil, they may be fried in butter or even bacon fat. They often frequently include onions and may include peppers, cheese, and/or a variety of other add-ins.
I remember when I was young, there was usually bacon fat in the freezer specifically for grandma's home fries recipe that she passed to my mother..
You are making me drool? Stop, lol.
@@broncobrasame, like wtf have I been doing wrong w my home fries all this time? 😅😅
@@kristinwojtowich8902 Absolutely nothing at all, lol. You make them however you want sweetheart? They make me drool no matter what? I haven't eaten anything
like this in years? I have the "sugars" diabetes. But damn, if I don't like watching vids and reminiscing, ya know. Tell ya what? If you made a plate for me, I would
absolutely gobble it down. And thank you profusely afterwards. You made my day, lol. Thank you. Good Luck and God Bless. Hugs and kisses. You ROCK!
@@broncobra I'm sorry to hear about your diabetes 😔 I know how much it sucks not being able to eat what you want, though my health issues are different. I hope you're doing well and managing your diagnosis! 😊
@@kristinwojtowich8902 My DR. started me off with insulin shots? I changed my eating habits. DR. took me off insulin? He said I'm SO happy? No one ever listens to what I say?
Yeah, it makes a huge difference. Grandpa had a leg amputated from ganggreen. Cousin died of a massive heart attack on a treadmill. Diebetes related. Shit happens.
Thank you for your kind words? Good Luck and God Bless.
grits are ground corn (not as fine as flour, but a 'grit' grind, thus why it's called 'grits') and you cook it in boiling water until it's the constancy of thick porridge and you add salt (to taste) and ground black pepper (again, to taste) and real butter (again, to taste), you can also add other stuff like cheese (your preference, I prefer fresh shredded sharp cheddar), and some kind of protein, like crumbled bacon, cubed ham, ground sausage, or even shrimp or crawfish... I prefer crumbled bacon or ground sausage, but will use whatever is handy.... DO NOT USE sugar or honey or milk... that's just wrong and those are used for oatmeal, not grits...
I can’t do grits because I’m allergic to corn
But I definitely know people who swear by sweet grits
And I eat savory oatmeal sometimes
So yeah
Grits are the same as oatmeal, if you made it out of corn instead of oats. You serve em with butter, salt, and pepper... and yes, cheese makes em amazing! Grits rock.
this kind of breakfast was common when people did a lot of manual labor.. this kept you going and not hungry until late dinner and gave you enough energy to do all that work through the whole day.... you worked so hard that you burned tons of calories and need a big breakfast like this to do all the work.... now that most people don't work like that, it's more of a weekend breakfast...
I"m from Texas and we eat buttermilk biscuits nearly every Sunday morning with eggs and sausage. When its cold out, I'll make sausage gravy. Cheesy grits are incredible on a cold day with a fried egg. However, the breakfast that we ( and most of South Texas) eat the most is breakfast tacos. Soft flour tortillas filled with refried beans, cheese, fried potatoes and hot sauce is my favorite.
In my Mexican-American California family back in the 70s and 80s, breakfast was usually some carne asada, fried potatoes and eggs scrambled together, and refried beans with corn tortillas, a bowl of fruit or nopales (cactus), squash and bell pepper, and some hot chocolate. My Grandma called it food from "el rancho" where she grew up. Breakfast is big, a bowl of albondigas soup after school, and dinner is a medium size meal. Snacks are usually some fruit. We never ate much bread, pasta, or rice and I don't eat it now.
We never ate cereal because my grandparents (both sets of them) didn't consider it real food and my parents would be reamed for even suggesting we buy it. In fact, my Grandma didn't consider anything real food unless she cooked it. Once a month we could have pizza or hamburgers. Grandparents are a very big influence in the family and I lived with them for half of my childhood while my both my parents worked.
I've been eating that way for 55 years and still do. I'm 6', 160 lbs, in perfect health, and run 5 miles every two days.
that's a good meal too! My breakfast alternated, sometimes pancakes and bacon, or ham biscuits & gravy hashbrowns, or other times - chorizo & eggs beans rice or fried potatoes and tortillas. I had the best of both worlds. (Arkansas dad & Arizona mom)
You get it? Good Luck and God Bless.
I live in Michigan, there is a local southern restaurant. If you don't show up 2 hours early you will still be in the queue when they close.
LOL! Good Luck and God Bless.
i'll pray for yall 😉
Grits are basically a very coarse corn flour.. it's almost the same texture as oatmeal, but made with corn.. people often make it savory with cheese, peppers, etc
There are so many cultures that came into America and have their own breakfast traditions, that you can eat almost anything for breakfast.
If I had to nail it down and do a full spread of a traditional breakfast, you’re gonna have some version of egg. Sunny side up, over easy, or scrambled. A meat, like breakfast sausage patties or bacon. A potato, like home fries or hash browns. Bread, such as toast with jam or biscuits. Grits. Maybe add on a waffle, but that’s about it.
For me, it’s over medium egg, bacon, home fries, biscuit, cheese grits, and waffle with berry compote.
Grits are ground corn, cooked in water and butter. Most of them are good, some are amazing.
Pimento cheese is a combination of shredded Cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, and diced pimientos (the same peppers used to stuff green olives), along with whatever spices the maker wants to include. Easy to make, and absolutely delicious.
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!
You too!
Happy 4th Oklahoma, from Nebraska!
@broncobra from another Okie, Happy America Day, Nebraska! Lol
I've called it that since my oldest daughter was little and I was telling her about the history of the holiday and when she went to explain it to someone, she couldn't recall Independence Day or 4th of July, so she looked at them in all her 3 year old sass and says, "UGH! You KNOW WHAT I TALKING ABOUT! AMERICA DAY!" except she couldn't SAY America that well so it came out 'Mer-ka' 😂 She was absolutely indignant that someone DARED to not understand what she was trying to say lol! It was so cute that in my family, we all use that name for it now
@@libertybell8852 Back in high school, back when dinasaurs walked the earth, I went down to Stillwater to Myron Rodricks wrestling camp.Y'all were so accomidating?
It was hot and sweaty? lol. Just a warm up for Houston. I hate A/C, so I was good with it.
Later in life, I lived in Houston 12 years. All my exes live in TX? lol. Something about southern women? Any one north of Dallas is a Yankee? lol. All southern women
are sassy? It's born into them. Sure beats the wishy-washy of women up north. Texans say what they mean, and mean what they say. I'm sure you okies are like
that as well. Gals like you make the rockin world go round? America Day, I like that? Gonna use it from now on. Good Luck and God Bless. Take care sweetheart?
Sorry, 'Mer-ka day. I got it now?
Breakfast tacos, biscuits and sausage gravy, crispy hashbrowns (cooked scattered), maybe a T Bone…because Texas.
East Texan here in full agreement. In our house we also make huevos rancheros and breakfast quesadillas. The whole family loves them....because, well......this is Texas and these foods are part of our rich cultural history.
In European terms, grits are basically Spanish Palinta cooked with butter, and cheese.
You can also sugar grits
@@ringojuna We don't sugar our grits here in South Carolina . You can sugar cream of wheat and oatmeal if you want a sweet porridge . Bless Your Heart .
@@victorwaddell6530 I'm a Yankee who sugars my grits, but I'm very familiar with the odd looks I get from my Southern friends.
@@ringojunamy reaction to sugar on grits is probably about the closest I come to being similar to an Italian reaction against things like pineapple on pizza (which I love BTW) - grits is supposed to be savory, not sweet, so adding sugar is a crime against grits.
@@victorwaddell6530 In Alabama, we do
I’m a northerner retiree I don’t eat breakfast during the week but weekends I cook my granddaughters pancakes eggs toast and meat of their choice. Juice or hot chocolate in the winter for drinks. Hoping to make a memory for when I’m gone.
I still remember my grandmother cooking breakfast for us over 50 years ago.
I just retired on the 4th. You keep doing what you do. You rock?
Excellent, I'm sure it will be ❤
Texan here. Our most common breakfast at my house is a mixture of potatoes, scrambled eggs and bacon wrapped in a tortilla. Breakfast taco. With picante sauce and pico de gallo, and sometimes guacamole. Also being a Southerner, biscuits and gravy with grits aren't unusual, but breakfast tacos are most often what we have at our house.
My eyes just rolled into the back of my head (in bliss) reading this 😂
Yes, I’m Texan as well and love tortillas with my eggs,cheese,sausage and pico
Samplers are plates that have different dishes in smaller portions. It's when you want to try a bunch of different dishes at one time but you don't want the server to bring out 3 or 5 massive plates of food, instead they bring out one large plate with 3 to 5 smaller portions of different dishes on it. One sampler I can think of is Olive garden's "Tour of Italy" which has three smaller portions of chicken parmesan, lasagna, and fettuccini alfredo on one plate.
That's really not a fair question, there isn't AN American breakfast. Common breakfast can be different depending on which area of our country you are from. And let's be clear, we don't always eat the kind of breakfast we prefer, every day. On most days, I think most Americans will eat something fast, a bagel with cream cheese, and egg sandwich, cereal, Oatmeal, grits. Children may have cereal or a poptart pastry. Now if we are on vacation or holiday, then we would probably have the bigger breakfast, but even then there are lots of choices, eggs and bacon or sausage or scrapple, Pancakes, waffles, breakfast burrito. SOS {sh*t on shingle}, biscuits and gravy. So many varieties to pick from.
Grits is dried ground corn, simmered in water or milk with whatever seasoning you want to add, similar to your porridge. Some add cheese and a hint of garlic. Others, melted butter and sugar.
Alabama here, please don’t simmer grits in milk! It’s grits, not oatmeal or porridge. And no sugar!
Grits are just cornmeal boiled into a porridge, like oatmeal or cream of wheat, but with corn. You can have them plain with butter, or do combinations like shrimp & grits, sausage & grits, fried chicken & grits, eggs over grits, whatever you like!
My family is Mexican-American- my mom’s breakfast could be biscuits and gravy, pancakes and bacon, or chorizo and eggs with tortillas.
Usually it’s a pastry and coffee since it’s just me on the go…
If you’re so curious about biscuits- make them yourself! 😊 there’s many videos for buttermilk biscuits here on YT. It’s not very difficult, but it is very specific on how you make them. Also highly recommended- sausage gravy!
As a 23 year old man from Michigan I make a breakfast consisting of chocolate chip pancakes or waffles, cheesy scrambled eggs, sausage patties, American crispy bacon, hash browns in some form, and a homemade fruit smoothie. Rarely it's a bowl of cereal. Sometimes I'll make a breakfast sandwich or make a breakfast bowl.
Yum! That a big breakfast
Someone can probably explain this better. Grits are the final product of a kernel of corn. You put the corn kernels into lye until they get puffed up, called hominy (you can also buy it in a can). Then, they're dried, and cut? smushed? until they're about half the size of a grain of rice, with about the same texture. They have basically no flavor on their own. That's why you add cheese, butter, bacon, syrup, some people add sugar. I also cook mine in stock rather than water just to add some flavor.
There is also yellow and white grits, not hominy, made from dent corn. Hominy grits are as you described, the lye process is called nixtamalization.
If it’s the weekend when I make “big breakfast” I make eggs over medium, bacon, hash browns and cinnamon rolls or some kind of breakfast pastry. It’s really more brunch than breakfast. The Loveless Cafe is legendary! Their biscuits and home made jam are incredible, actually all their breakfast items are delicious. Not all restaurants are going to have really amazing biscuits, some are okay, but truly the Loveless Cafe has outstanding ones! A sampler plate means it has a variety of breakfast items, but in this case they are full size items. Cheese grits are grits, which is a kind of porridge made from maize or hominy corn cooked in water or milk. Plain they’re good with butter and salt and pepper and maybe a dash or two of hot sauce. But they can be dressed up by adding cheese or shrimp. And yes the Scottish guy and his wife also ate there.
In my family (Grandma was from Tennessee) for holidays and special occasions we would add butter and jelly/preserves to the biscuit and then add either a runny egg or scrambled eggs over top of the biscuits and then smother the whole thing in homemade sausage gravy. If we were lucky, there would be a pot of chocolate gravy for us kids. They were the best breakfasts of my life.
My favorite breakfast of all time to have is: 4 eggs over easy set on top of buttered homemade biscuits with just a little bit of strawberry jelly, with 3 pieces of bacon crumbled overtop of that, the smothered in homemade maple sausage gravy. And on the side I like 3 'tater cakes (potato pancakes or latkes) covered in cheese and and gravy, with 2 sausage patties.
Very heavy breakfast, but once you eat that you don't have to eat for the rest of the day.
In the northern states if you get biscuits with a breakfast it is usually mass produced stuff from some corporation. NOT as good as a homemade southern biscuit. Just wanted to make that clear. Some European visitors eat that stuff & think that is what a biscuit is supposed to be. Traditionally in northern states it's eggs (choice of how cooked (we have MANY ways to cook an egg), some type of meat (bacon, sausage, or ham), fried or hashbrown potatoes and toast.
there is a cooking technique called 'water frying' that is the best way to cook the bacon... second best is in the oven as it cooks it evenly and renders the excess fat right off... no curling or fatty spots... just even cooked all over.
for breakfast I normally have hard scrambled eggs (3) with cubed ham, sharp cheddar (fresh shredded) and onions (sliced slivers), with oven cooked bacon (5) and a bowl of grits (real butter and salt with crumbled bacon (4) slices mixed in), sometimes toast, other times biscuits, usually with blackberry preserves. also, I like ovaltine or some kind of fruit juice (100%, not 'drink'). and if I'm really hungry, I'll make country potatoes (seasoned cubed potatoes) as a side.
They're drinking mimosa's, orange juice and champagne.
Grits are made from ground corn, typically from less sweet, starchy varieties often referred to as dent corn. Grits can be made from either yellow or white corn
I think in reality 99% of the time an “American breakfast” is someone stopping at 711 or Dunkin Donuts and getting a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel or something and eating it on their wait to work or grabbing a bowl of cereal before leaving the house
I'm a southern dude, I don't generally cook breakfast most days but for a weekend breakfast i'll make some bacon, eggs, pancakes, and sausage. Or i'll make biscuits and gravy. I'm not the fastest at making biscuits yet so anything I make involving those tends to be less fancy since they require more time.
You'll be able to find good biscuits in Orlando, not the ones they're eating, obviously. Quick heads up about biscuits. They contain a TON of butter, They're meant to be crisp on the outside, soft and flaky on the inside. If they're hard, or dry it's because the biscuit was overcooked or over-mixed.Or sitting under a heat lamp for a while. So if you try something like a biscuit from Popeyes (which are pretty not great compared to real biscuits) I don't want you to get the impression they're all compressed pucks of salt and sawdust.
Grits are a cornmeal porridge. Like polenta, just less finely ground. Cheese grits are grits that have cheese added to them. 🤣
A Bloody Mary or two. Six strips of bacon, two eggs, hash browns and toast. Bloody Mary must have a pickle, two olives, and a beef stick in it.
Southerner here. Eggs, cheese grits, bacon, biscuits, fried green tomatoes, orange juice, seasonal fruit.
My typical breakfast now is usually a protein shake.
Where is the sausage gravy??? Southern biscuits without sausage gravy, is like a day without sunshine. This comes from a Northern boy,
@@user-fc6nr1zd6f Some days call for butter only.
"What's in an American breakfast?"
I'm sure it changes a bit from region to region, but in my area it's:
Eggs
Bacon or Sausage
Hash Browns or Toast with jam
A stack of pancakes or an order of biscuits and gravy is optional
Happy 4 of July 🎉 everyone
After thirty years as a RR, I retired today. Hope that you had a good 4th.
Grits are dried ground corn introduced to southern colonists by native Americans. Grits are rehydrated with water. It is like a porridge and has no flavor. It's primary use is fill the belly. So you can add any flavoring to make it better. Over easy eggs, bacon, sausage, steak, ham , cheese, shrimp etc...
You can make biscuits your self (no waiting ) lol 2 cups self rising flour, 3 tablespoons butter or lard, cut into flour until pea size, add 3/4 cup to 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk. Do not play with dough to much you will make them dense. Pat out dough on floured surface and cut out with cutter, or drinking glass, or whatever you have around. Bake 350 degrees for 25 to 30 min Eat with butter, jam, jelly, preserves, syrup. Enjoy !!
Grits are, essentially, boiled corn meal porridge - coarsely ground meal made from dried, white, hominy corn is boiled in salted water for about five minutes, removed from heat, and allowed to sit in the pot for an additional five to fifteen minutes. They have a mild flavor, that allows them to soak up, and compliment, just about anything else you choose to add to them. Being a dried meal, they store well, for years if properly sealed, making for a year-round staple of kitchens and tables. As we in the south say, if you don't like grits, you just haven't found your flavor.
My favorite: Two over easy or sunny-side up eggs, fresh garden sliced tomatoes, and buttered Rhy toast. And in the winter I substitute the garden fresh tomatoes for hash browns.
I’ve lived in Connecticut, the Irish community and I’ve been to Ireland twice-I love a proper traditional Irish breakfast and brown soda bread.
I'm in PA, so if you tried breakfadt here it would include a meat called scrapple. It's all the little pork bits that don't get used in all the traditional cuts, turned into a solid brick of mush, sliced and fried crispy. I only eat it when i cook it myself, bc most people are very particular about their scrapple, and I've never had it prepared properly by anyone else. If I'm eating out, I get bacon ( crispy), pancakes of some variety (bc i don't like making them), scrambled eggs (sometimes with cheese), and toast, unless biscuits are an option. If I'm making it at home, it's usually a quiche or omelet , the meat varies, and French toast. Don't hate me, but....I dont really like potatoes, so on the very rare occasion i eat them, it's hashbrowns( very finely shredded) bc they're less potato-y than homefries ( cut/diced). Sometimes I'll make sausage gravy and biscuits, but that's a dinner meal that just happens to be consideted a breakfast food.
grits coarsely ground grain , usually made from corn . you put the grits in a pot with water , me , I use milk instead of water , lots of butter and salt , pepper . Add in cheese , garlic , my 2 favorites . You can get instant grits , just add milk , 2 minutes in the microwave . My favorite breakfast comes from me spending time with my grandparents . Home made hot buttered grits and buttermilk biscuits with butter and home made blackberry jam in the middle of the biscuits ! I would mix my biscuits in with my grits , chop it up ,,, Heaven . After breakfast I load up with my Paw Paw and go fishing !!!
Biscuits vary, some people overwork the dough, and they become dense and tough, but a great biscuit is light buttery and flaky. By the sound of it, these are perfect biscuits.
Now, about grits, grits are a stone ground dried corn product that's boiled in water and milk to make what you on that side of the pond might call a porridge. It's usually finished with butter and cheese, aka cheesy grits or as shrimp & grits. If I had to compare grits to something, polenta would be the example I'd use. The difference between grits & polenta besides color is about $10- $12 bowl lol. Grits are made from white corn or hominy, and polenta is from yellow corn.
My favorite breakfast when I'm cooking for just me is bacon & scrambled eggs with toast or a bagel, with pan fried potatoes or if I have the large wrappers, breakfast burritos. If there are more mouths to feed, I'll consider pancakes or waffles, usually with a glass of milk sometimes coffee. If I have a cookie or something sweet to end the meal on I'll have it with the leftover milk or coffee.
Country ham is salt cured longer than regular ham and should be served like proscuitto, but not everyone serves it that way.
Yes this was the same place you saw Shaun in.
I usually make two scrambled eggs with veg inside (spinach, green onions, fresh tomatoes) and a slice of bacon or sausage to put fat in the pan. Thing is, I'm retired now. When i worked, it was gulp down a bowl of cereal or make toast with peanut butter. The kind of breakfast in the video would be a Sunday brunch after church or something similar. Not everyday. Good homemade biscuits? They are heavenly. Light, fluffy, flakey and buttery inside, and crispy on the outside. They are drinking Mimosas. Orange juice with champagne/sparkling wine. Grits are a form of cooked, ground cornmeal mush. Often enhanced with cheese, pepper, spices, green or hot peppers, bacon grease, etc.
A normal daily reakfast in my house is a rotation of a few things. Biscuts and sausage gravy with eggs and fried green tomatoes or fruit if they're in season could be one day. Another day can be cheesy grits or hasbrowns smothered with onions with eggs, bacon or sausage and biscuts with home made preserves. Or honestly any variation of that with pancakes or omelettes or when I've got time or we have guests I make things like shakshuka, puri or hhuevos rancheros.
But for a quick and easy breakfast for a week you make quite a bit of sausage on Monday and with the left over you can make a big batch of sausage gravy and biscuts to last till the weekend and then frying up some eggs and bacon only take a few minutes while warming up the biscuts and gravy and cutting up some fruit. Which means you can a hearty breakfast in about 30 minutes. (which is necessary when you're working a ranch for fourteen or more hours a day.)
In south georgia its Bacon,Eggs,Grits,and Toast with coffee. Grits are a dish made of corn soaked in potash so it swells up and bursts the skin then dried and ground coursely. You add water and salt and boil till tender and thickened you put a big spoon on your plate then add butter yummy.
My all time favorite and somewhat fast American breakfast is literally like a hotpot bowl. Cheesy grits, cut up chunks of round patty breakfast sausage as you cook it, add it to grits, poach two eggs and mix it all into one bowl. Then sausage gravy over biscuits with more bits of those chopped patties mixed into that too.
When I was a kid near Dallas, Tx my mom would make breakfast and sometimes we would eat breakfast food for supper. We mainly had scrambled eggs with cheese on it, bacon, cooked ham, sausage and homemade biscuits.
During the week I have a granola bar with my coffee for breakfast because I don’t have much time.
On the weekends. I’ll have any of the following but usually just 1 or 2 things, but could be any combination.
Ham & Cheese Omelet (scrambled eggs with slices of ham and grated cheese) or Western Omelet (vegetables like peppers, onions, pieces of tomato) cooked in it and flipped to close. Pancakes/waffles, sausage/applewood bacon and biscuits with a jelly or maple butter (you can make it with butter and maple syrup). There’s also a country ham steak and hash browns. The south is big on grits; for those who say they are similar to oatmeal, it isn’t. I like a maple brown sugar oatmeal, grits are just too gritty for me. But you should still try them. My wife loves it with biscuits & gravy.
In the states there are Cracker Barrel’s everywhere, that’s probably the best place to get a variety of food. Or ask someone at wherever your stay is in the US where the best local breakfast restaurant(s) are. They will know or goggle them 😁. The mom/pop restaurants are prob better for certain things but if you can’t find one a Cracker Barrel is prob your best bet.
I'm 63 yrs old every day it was either oatmeal or cold cereal. But on Sunday, we had eggs hash browns, sausage, or bacon, toast, and fresh orange juice! Including mom and dad, there were 8 of us, not a lot of money, but man, oh man, we all looked forward to Sunday breakfast!😊
As a Southerner all breakfast start with grits, finely ground corn cooked in salty water into a thickened consistency. My favorite breakfast is white toast, and grits. Cheese grits are eaten with fish.
Grits are ground up hominey which are a type of corn. It’s like a porridge consistency but most people don’t eat it sweet but more of buttery or savory flavored with salt and butter. Some do eat it sweet.
sausage gravy covering 4 whole giant biscuits is the best...which is a thick milk and flour gravy that you add to fully cooked broken up grounded sausage meat and if you make it with spicy sausage meat it's perfect to not just fill oneself up but also warm oneself up before having to do a good bit of hours outside work on a cold morning or day.
Grits are ground up from whole dried white corn kernels from dent corn (a variety of corn with a higher starch content, which gives grits their creamy, soft texture).....combined with cheese or salted-and-buttered: they are AWESOME, I THINK!!! I think, also, the drinks they were having were MIMOSAS (champagne & orange juice), which is sometimes served at brunch and tastes very yummy!!! ANY of the food they were eating: I would include in MY southern breakfast plate!! SAMPLERs are a way of having a meal that includes small amounts of several of the dishes the restaurant has to offer, usually. I hadn't been to the Loveless Cafe - but, would love to go and have heard their biscuits are truly AWESOME - but, BEING a true Southerner: no one's biscuits are better than my Mama's!! :) Her's were GREAT with just butter-and-honey or jam or preserves!! THANKS for the REACTION, ADAM!! :)
The now closed Tiki Restaurant in Peru Illinois, now a QuikTrip, used to have an All-American breakfast consisting of: Belgian Waffles, French Toast, Canadian Bacon, English Muffins, Scottish Eggs, Sweet Italian Sausage and Columbian Coffee. I ordered it and the waitress was said, "I don't know why they call that an All-American Breakfast, nothing in it is American." I told her she was right, but even though American is a nationality, America is comprised of many other nationalities. She then said she didn't think of it that way and my answer gave her more insight to her previous statement. She thanked me and said that now when someone asks her how that breakfast can be called All-American, now she has a good answer to give them.
South Carolina . Grits , eggs cooked in any style , biscuits , white gravy , yesterday's leftover cornbread , and some sort of pork . The pork can be sausage patties , , fried baloney , or fried livermush . There could be some cheese in there somewhere . The best use of cheese in a Southern breakfast is to put it in the grits . Southern breakfasts use either butter or saved pork fat as the grease component , no olive oil or vegetable oil . Southerners often eat typical American breakfast foods like omelets , toast , waffles , pancakes , sausage links , hash browns . As a teenager one of my favorite on the go breakfasts was my Moms day old cornbread split and toasted and topoed with butter and molassas .
Here in south Texas breakfast is many different things, but a main staple is the breakfast taco. It usually consists of egg as a base mixed with anything from potatoes to meat to napolitas (cooked cactus) or anything else you can think of wrapped in either a corn or flour tortilla, your choice. There’s gotta be salsa and a strong coffee to wash it down. Maybe some pan dulce, which is different kinds of Mexican sweet breads, if you’re feeling particularly sweet.
From West Virginia, USA, and I love breakfast for supper! Fried, scrambled, poached, or hard boiled eggs. Fried ham, bacon, sausage, or sausage gravy on biscuits. Fried taters, hash browns, tater cakes. Cooked oats, farina, pancakes, waffles, corn cakes, or fried mush, with real butter, berries, preserves, and maple syrup....in any combination, but that would be the menu! Lol 😂
Weekends in winter, I love scrambled eggs with some veggies, bacon/sausage, grits with cheese and toast/biscuits. Plus a cup of hot coffee. But I have to make it myself, so I don't have it often.
Grits is a porridge made from coarse ground cornmeal similar to polenta. I like it with just butter and salt and pepper. You can put cheese in it, or white gravy. Shrimp and grits are also great.
Breakfast at home: eggs, toast, berries, and sausage or bacon. Breakfast at a restaurant: eggs, pancakes or waffles, hash browns, fruit, and sausage or bacon. When you can't finish the whole meal, the leftovers make a delicious dinner warmed up.
I"m originally from Tennessee, so a Southern Breakfast is top tier! My go-tos are always:
Sunnyside up eggs, maple bacon (or bacon with some maple syrup to put on them; and double the bacon, bc while I do like sausage, it's a bit too heavy for me), toast with butter and jam (strawberry, grape, blackberry, raspberry or peach), and a nice big warm bowl of grits. All of it topped off with a hot cup of black cowboy coffee.
I also love to dip my toast and bacon into the runny yolk of the sunnyside up eggs.
My mom made homemade biscuits at least 3 days a week. Once a week, we’d have chocolate gravy!!! Once a week we’d have homemade pancakes. She would warm the syrup so it easily melted the butter. These were served with sasauge patties! I miss those days!!
Scramble eggs, bacon, pancakes, waffles, corned beef hash, hash browns, toast w/butter. I do not eat these all together at one time, but, these, are the things I like to eat for breakfast. Grits are ground white corn. You make it so it is creamy. I love them w/butter. You can put cheese or fruit. Anything you like.
My typical breakfast is yogurt with strawberries and blueberries. This morning I went out for breakfast and ordered cheesy scrambled eggs with peppers and spinach , hash brown potatoes, and Italian bread toast.
Hawaii has eggs and rice with Spam or Portuguese sausage. Another one that is an all around meal is loco moco. Two hamburger patties over rice with macaroni salad, topped with two eggs, any style, and covered in gravy.
Bacon and eggs, usually scrambled, and biscuits with jelly. Sometimes grits with butter is added.
Depends on my mood and if I'm cooking or if someone else is cooking: Sometimes breakfast is biscuits and sausage gravy; sometimes eggs (scrambled or over easy), hashbrowns and sausage; sometimes pancakes; sometimes chicken fried steak with gravy and eggs / hashbrowns; sometimes homemade cinnamon roll. Never oatmeal, or cereal.
Biscuits and Gravy, Scrambled eggs with cheese, onions and ketchup or Omelette with cheese, ham, sausage and onions, French Toast, Sausage and/or Bacon (for those that like bacon), Pancakes and/or Waffles, Hash Browns and/or Fried Potatoes with Ketchup obviously, Toast with Butter and/or Jelly, Oatmeal, Orange Juice and Milk for those that drink it. That is our breakfast every Saturday morning.
The most popular breakfast where I live is crepes with savory vegetable/meat fillings (like Crepes Florentine) with home fries and salad with vinaigrette dressing. Coffee or an espresso drink on the side. A croissant if you want something light.
This is NOT typical in most of the US, but where I live almost every neighborhood has a breakfast spot like this 🍽
Eggs to your liking- bacon or sausage or ham (one or the other or all three)- hash browns - biscuit / toast / bagel with butter or jelly or jam or cream cheese - oatmeal or grits - pancakes or waffles - coffee / milk / juice. If your VET Slop in some SOS.
This is also the same place Shaun ate biscuits at he loved them. As for your singing, i love hearing you sing you have a beautiful voice. i heard you singing too, the red white and blue video you did i love your voice.
Coffee and a blunt is my usual breakfast. Occasionally I'll stop and grab a McGriddle from Mickey D's before work.
Growing up my mother made by is hits every morning for us before school. We had biscuits, eggs, and some meat, usually either sausage, bacon, country ham, or fatback (salt pork). Most often it was sausage. If it was country ham she made red-eye gravy with the ham pan drippings and coffee. We never had anything sweet.
A good buttery biscuit is the perfect breakfast food.
It can go with anything, eggs, bacon, sausage gravy, or alone with some jam.
Some combination of: breakfast meats (bacon, sausage), bread (biscuits, toast, muffin), fried potatoes (hashbrowns, home fries), eggs ( fried, scrambled or boiled), and sometimes French toast or pancakes.
Oh, and I used to make my children scrambled eggs and cheese which they would put in a tortilla with sour cream and salsa. They would roll it up and eat it. They loved it.
Another video with Adam singing my day just got better. 👍👍👍👍
One cup buttermilk, 1 cup self, rising flour. Stir until your arms hurt. Then put them in individual cupcake baking tins greased with butter. Bake at 350 four, about 10 to 15 minutes. But be sure to check for when they turn golden brown. Good luck friend!
an American breakfast will usually consist of eggs, hashbrowns (or any "fried" potato), sausage patties (or links), bacon, biscuits and sausage gravy, toast w/butter or jelly/jam/preserves, and coffee/juice/milk
Grits are Similar To Porridge In The UK, & There's Many Ways To Serve It, For Example "Shrimp & Grits, Sausage & Grits & Cheese & Grits, Some People Like It With a Little Sugar & Butter, Other's Like It With Salt & Pepper & Some Mix It With Their Eggs & Cheese or With Sausage Gravy & On & On & On, You Can Find Grits On The Menu Almost Everywhere In The U.S.
I’m a Californian but when you find a good country/southern breakfast, it hits so different. When you find a good biscuit, it’s life changing.
Grits are a sort of porridge made from corn meal. Something like a Spanish Polenta. The style that they're eating has cheese [probably cheddar] added.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_browns
you can also put things on top of the hashbrowns...
Toppings you can get put on the hashbrowns:
Smothered (in Onions), Covered (in Cheese), Chunked (with Hickory Smoked Ham cubes), Diced (with Grilled Tomatoes), Peppered (with Jalapeños), Capped (with Grilled Mushrooms), Topped (with Bert's Chili), and Country Sausage Gravy
I prefer: smothered, covered, chunked, with gravy....also, ketchup is good on hashbrowns as long as there is no gravy on it already. since hashbrowns are basically thin fries, it works.
Looks like that came from a Waffle House menu 😋
2 eggs over easy, 2 pieces of toast ( the eggs on top) 6 pieces of bacon, bowl of cheesy Grits. Simple quick and hearty ❤
For me, it's Chicken Fried Steak, 2 fried eggs over-medium (the white is fully cooked and the yolk is runny.) hash browns and toast.
I know British people seem mostly to celebrate with booze but 4th of July is about kids and fireworks shows.Maybe a picnic,then you go to one of the large shows put on by cities or organizations.There are concerts and just plain displays.Rural folks can set off their own,if it rained recently,but best not id it's drought conditions,so,they also go to shows.You can sit at home,drink and watch videos of displays ,and in fact,since many kids may be out later than usual,please don't be drinking and driving,stay at home. My favorites would probably be pancakes,fried eggs and bacon,Eggs Benedict or Huevos Rancheros.I have eaten chicken-fried steak and eggs with country gravy and hash browns or other fried potatoes,but that's a bit heavy for me.A recent introduction,Breakfast Burritos is also a favorite.That is scrambled eggs,Mexican chorizo,cheese,salsa,jalapenos and if on the menu,guacamole all wrapped in a wheat flour tortilla.Biscuits and Gravy is very common and definitely you should try it
Breakfasts vary by region. Here in WV its eggs, bacon, ham or sausage, fried apples, fried potatoes and gravy. Biscuits
Depends what state/area, tbph. Here in Ohio can range from: Biscuits & bacon or sausage gravy, to 2 eggs (sunny side up, over easy, over medium, over hard or scrambled... maybe poached), [cup of gravy w/ 2 biscuits, OR 1-2 slices French toast w/ syrup, or pancakes 2-5 stack w/ maple syrup) pick one of those 3] side of bacon, sausage or ham, side of mixed seasonal fruit.
Oh, mine... my 3 faves (because I cannot pick), (In no particular order:
1. Biscuits & bacon gravy, bacon on the side w/ our family's version of "fried potatoes" cut into about 1/2 cm 'cubes' we like 'em pretty brown, so we "dry' them, put some bacon grease in the pan & let them cook on med/low for a pretty long time stirring occasionally to see how they're doing/adjust temp if needed etc... if we're in a hurry we put a lid on until they are done enough to eat. then take the lid off & add more bacon grease and crank the heat up a bit to burn off the liquid that steamed out of the potatoes then brown the outsides stirring every minute or so. until done. W/ a glass of whole milk
2. eggs, over easy x2, bacon, fried green tomatoes w/ comeback sauce, cream of wheat fixed w/ milk & sugar. several bacon slices. W/ a glass of whole milk
3. French toast w/maple syrup or strawberry compote (when strawberries are in season), with bacon, W/ a glass of whole milk.
Honorable mention: Johnny cakes w/ maple syrup.
IOW, w/ me bacon & a glass of milk & some other stuff = breakfast.
Ok, grits are dried corn, ground up coarsely then it gets cooked/rehydrated by cooking at least 20 minutes, add at LEAST butter, but better w/ some seasoning, added cheese &/or meat(s Shrimp & grits seem pretty popular.) etc....
My FAVORITE is scrambled eggs, hasbrowns and biscuits and gravy. When its really cold, I love biscuits and chocolate gravy. (You either love it or you hate it, no in between! And its more of a thing in the southern states and sometimes the midwest)
two egs, sunny side up with pepper, two stirps of thin cut bacon. A bit of hashbrowns (shredded potatoes) with some hot sauce. two slices of toast with strawberry jam. Orange juice and a small cup of coffee. Thats my weekend breakfast :)
My favorite breakfast is cornedbeef hash, eggs over easy, and toast. My most common breasfast is eggs over easy and toast. Both included a half dozen cups of coffee (black).
My favorite breakfast to have at a sit down restaurant is French Toast, hash browns, bacon, scrambled cheese & eggs, juice and coffee.
My favorite fast food is a country ham, egg and cheese biscuit from Bojangles.
At home, waffles or pancakes, bacon or sausage...OR scrambled cheese & eggs with bacon or sausage...OR a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich.
Grits is coarsely ground corn. If you've had polenta, that's probably the closest in consistency.
Grits are like porridge. It's made of coarsely ground maize(corn) or hominy. You can cook it in warm salted water or milk . They can be eaten sweet or savory. You normally eat them at breakfast, but you can eat them during any part of the. I season my grits with salt, pepper, and butter. Some people do sugar and butter, which is blasphemy, in my opinion. I like mine with cheese as well. The best meal with dinner is shrimp and grits.
